1 | Will you want "illogical" propaganda? | 2 Sam 8:4 | David Yew | 151892 | ||
Hi Mark, Consider this: NIV has actually corrected it to 7,000 instead of 700, and annotated 700 in the footnote but not NASB,Holman Christian Standard Bible,KJV. Please go to Biblegateway.com for viewing. So the translators do have the different sources, but we are still dependent upon their theological background, their hermenuetics strength and wisdom to have our English Bible. The differing versions of the English Bible may confuse people... So a Muslim actually posted such contradictions, which I desire to find answers to them.

2 | Copyist error - Yes, but must be more. | 2 Sam 8:4 | David Yew | 151818 | ||
Hi meusing, Thank you! I could understand this as a copyist error. Based on other sources, the error is only 2 dots! However, it become more surprising to note that the scholars of the various translations had allowed this to pass through. There is some light to this, which I have yet see. Hope this may encourage more research on this. :) Regards David Yew Love - An intelligent willingness to do what is best for the other person. |

3 | I believe the inerrancy of the Bible | 2 Sam 8:4 | David Yew | 151762 | ||
Hi mommapbs, Please refer to Yahoo! Singapore Message Boards http://sg.messages.yahoo.com/index.html Got a message thread about the Holy Bible and a post of such contradiction. And I want to answer it and to have better understanding of the passage for myself. I just wanna have a good answer to this apparent contradiction. I believe the inerrancy and self-sufficency of the Bible. Regards David Yew Love - An intelligent willingness to do what is best for the other person. |

4 | Joram or Hadoram? | 2 Sam 8:10 | David Yew | 151717 | ||
Compare with 1 Chronicles 18:10 "he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou. And Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze." So has Hadoram or Joram went to see King David Regards David Yew |

5 | How many horsemen? | 2 Sam 8:4 | David Yew | 151716 | ||
The text is similiar to 1 Chronicles 18:4? "David took from him 1,000 chariots and 7,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots." Has David taken 1,700 or 7,000 horsemen? Regards David Yew Love - An intelligent willingness to do what is best for the other person. |

6 | Shall we read together? | 1 Cor 14:28 | David Yew | 149809 | ||
Hi Tim, Jus curious if you read the greek translation here: http://www.greeknewtestament.com/B46C014.htm#V28 I don't deny that the translation in many versions has the sentence which you have quoted. But I am refering to the Greek text, I just took up Greek recently, seems easy, just 24 characters. I believe you will come to the same word to word translate from the Greek text. And as said, I am not a Master in Greek, thus, I do humbly accept the text as it is. As you have said it correctly, Paul says that it is important to understand the meaning of what is said. He even mentioned the exact process in 14:27 - "One MUST interpret". Let us see the passage together. I hope that you may find the tone of this chapter as well. A) v5-12 A paragraph that Paul desire the Corinthians to seek prophesy. "what will I profit you" v5 "NOW" - He concluded something above, prophesy is the greater gift. "BUT EVEN MORE" - His emphasis to seek prophesy. B) v13-20 In the practising of the usage of the tongue (in exercising of the gift), one must consider the fellow men around him. Paul never fail to emphasize on unity and the purpose of gifts (12:7). "seek to abound for the edification of the church" C) v21-25 In exercising of the gift for speaking conviction to the unbelievers. D) v26-33 Instructions when gathering as a body. And again "Let all things be done for edification." Paul also mention about uninterpreted tongues - v9 "SO also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it BE KNOWN what is spoken? FOR you will be speaking into the air." You may note that he is emphaizing the need to understand the spoken tongue FOR THE HEARER. Even to Paul, uninterpreted tongue is meaningless, is "like talking into the air". So, I suggest that 14:2, 28, the word "God" may be as "god" as it mean nothing to the speaker or to God when somebody utter things that he has no understanding of what utterances he has made. Perhaps you like to suggest what "Therefore" v13,23,39, "So, also you," v9,12, would have meant ya? God bless! David Love - An intelligent willingness to do what is best for the other person. |

7 | Peace a good deciding factor? | Col 3:15 | David Yew | 149769 | ||
Col 3 has the objective of instructing the Colossians in their daily living as a Christian. And also on how they should live in their different roles and relationship with men. Thus, 3:15 has intention of living harmony with the people too. "to which you are called" is in the middle of the whole sentence. "Let the peace of God rule in your hearts ... and be thankful". It is interesting to see that many of us use this as means to illustrate decision making and determining if the plans one has is of God. Q. What is peace of God? Will it be of a feeling of rest? Then Jonah is fleeing from God's will was also in peace. He was sleeping in midst of a storm! So is feelings of peace a good measure to say God is pleased / in favour of your decision/plan? |
